FOUNDER
COACH L (Chief Executive Officer)
- Hello, and Welcome. My name is Linda Steele Dabney, I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, the middle of six children. And just to give you a little of my testimony and why Virtue, things haven't always been easy in life for me, but I know they've been purposed. My journey began when I became a teen mom at the age of 17. Not knowing how I would take on this new role, but I always stayed confident and consistent. I was strong willed even then with a determined mind to never quit, nor become a statistic. So, I worked hard and remained focused. With my family as my support at 19 my mom introduced me to Barbizon school of Modeling where I found my passion for the fashion industry. Upon graduation I was offered an opportunity to fly to Chicago, audition, where I then became a part of Fashion Fair (Johnson Publishing) they traveled 7 months out of the year from state to state doing fashion shows. From there I relocated to Los Angeles, after being given another opportunity, with the same company but now as their reginal rep for their cosmetic line. Managing 2 locations, enjoying this beautiful place I could only imagine being, after about 2 more years and unbeknown to me another opportunity would open up. I was now offered to relocate abroad to Italy, where I would open up makeup lines and train civilians and enlisted women in makeup artistry on the military bases. In my spare time I took on jobs modeling for local designers in Italy and working in the hair salon then another changed occurred, I got married and had another son. My goal was always to give my son a chance at a more abundant life, and Thankful to God I was truly able to accomplish doing that. After 6 years and heading back stateside my husband and I decided to divorce, and I was heartbroken, feeling alone I leaned towards my faith which kept me strong and determined. My career direction changed as well. I dabbled a bit with music but was eventually drawn to nursing, working with terminally ill cancer patients, Hospice. I knew Gods hands were leading me down a new path. Helping those in transition and their families, to working with women in shelters group homes and jails. After relocating some years later to Georgia, where I've resided now for 20 years, I pursued a license in counseling and ministry and founded and organization for women called PV31 ministries, where we empowered encouraged and motivated women to make better choices through the word of God and to live better lives, virtuously. After many years in serving PV31, God allowed Virtue to be birthed, mentoring thru modeling, which gives young girls and women a chance when circumstances and their surroundings look hopeless. We teach them to know their value, love and respect themselves and others. And how to confront challenges and walk with Purpose, and that's VIRTUE, It's not just a look, It's a lifestyle". Continue to journey with us as we continue to grow.
